Elmer Eugene Dobbins: Pioneer Wildcatter

By Mr. Eugene Gibson

Much has been written about the birth of the modern oil industry at Spindletop. The vision, resourcefulness, determination and conviction of our country's oil pioneers is an incredible story of true grit. The discovery of oil at Spindletop revolutionized our country and our world. And those individuals whose intellect and perseverance contributed to the discovery process are genuine heroes. They risked everything in the discovery of oil, unaware that in doing so they would change the world and change their own lives.My grandfather made inventive contributions to the story of Spindletop. He was among the first drillers to understand and operate the new rotary drilling system. His engineering background and his exposure to the new technology of drilling made him one of the most qualified drillers on any rig. This is his story.
